My First Attempt at Editing

In order to practice editing for our coursework, we were given the task of recreating a short extract of film in pairs from its raw files. We were given a sequence of unedited clips which we had to rearrange, cut, and add sound and titles to. In order to do this activity we worked used Adobe Premiere Pro because this is the software we will be using when we edit our final product which meant it enabled us to gain some basic experience in using and understanding the software. This is the video we created in the time limit for this task. 



Weaknesses
Unfortunately we ran out of time to add the sound effect of the message tone. In addition, another of our weaknesses was that we also ran out of time to add in the titles however, if we'd had enough time I did learn the skill needed in order to do this. 

Strengths
On the other hand, the reason we ran out of time was because we were making sure each clip was cut in the correct and precise place as close as we could get to the original. We also took a great deal of care when cutting the music and ensured we cut the music off at the end otherwise it would have carried on for another few minutes with a black screen.
